Should I mod my original MHDTParadisea or uprade

I have an a original MHDT Paradisea dac connected to a Mac Mini via Emprical Audio USB Off-Ramp. Recently I purchased a version 3 for a friend here on audiogon and highly anticipating its arrival so I can compare it to my original. I'm tempted to have my original dac modded or skip the whole process and get a version 3. Any suggestion.

thanks.

I'd wait till the version 3 arrives and then decide.

I tried the WE 396 tube that was so highly acclaimed. I didn't like it at all, so I bought another one thinking there must be something wrong. I didn't like sample number 2 either. I far preferred the stock tube, which has me thinking I must have gotten 2 duds. I guess 2 bad tubes isn't such a long shot after all. Yet another reason to hate tubes.

I'm getting the Ultra fi Soundstream solid state DAC in here to try out, so hopefully it will sound far superior to the Paradisea and I won't have to have any tubes at all in my system again!
